Deep down in Lou'si-an-a
Close to New Or-leans
Way back up in the woods
Among the ev-er greens
There stood an old cabin
Made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy
Named ~~~~ Johnny B Goode
Who'd never ever learned
To read or write so well
But he could play a guitar
Just like a ringin' a bell
GO GO, GO JOHNNY GO GO
GO JOHNNY GO GO, GO JOHNNY GO GO
GO JOHNNY GO GO, JOHNNY B GOODE
He used to carry his guitar
In a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree
By the railroad track
O'l engineer in the train
Sittin' in the shade
Strummin with the rythem
That the drivers made
The people passin' by
They would stop and say
Oh my, but that little
Country boy could play
GO GO, GO JOHNNY GO GO
GO JOHNNY GO GO, GO JOHNNY GO GO
GO JOHNNY GO GO, JOHNNY B GOODE
His mother told him
"Someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader
Of a big old band
Many people comin'
From miles around
To hear you play your music
'Til the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name'll be in lights
A sayin' Johnny B Goode tonght"
GO GO, GO JOHNNY GO,
GO GO GO JOHNNY GO, GO GO GO JOHNNY GO,
GO GO GO JOHNNY GO, GO JOHNNY B GOODE
